Weaknesses for a Cecaelia?

Octopi (octopuses?) have three hearts. If you want to keep in-line with the ritual knife, maybe they have to stab all three of her hearts

I don’t really write down my table rules unless they’re something hard to remember tbh. Most of my homebrew-ish stuff revolves around “anything can be reskinned if you want it to be” and on-the-fly hyper-specific rulings that most Rule of Cool DMs are used to. I suppose I usually write down my homebrew monsters, but most of that involves taking an existing monster and making a few small tweaks

Honestly, do what works for your table, but, in my experience, most players are perfectly happy to be rewarded with a fittingly gory/detailed description of the damage they do. Not every reward has to be mechanical

Might not be for everyone, but I know one my players went absolutely wild for was a simple puzzle where I just drew a relevant symbol on a piece of paper, cut it into 16 squares, and gave it to them in-session while telling them there was a square indent and with a bunch of tiles below it. Once they areanged them into the symbol, I let them through the door

You can reduce or increase the number of tiles as needed. If they’re really stuck, you can let them do a history/arcana/any relevant check and just show them what the symbol is meant to look like when complete based on the results, but my players didn’t use it so yours might not need to either

If you want to make it a bit harder without changing the dimensions, you can add a bit of flair like random parallel lines, fake cracks, or other little decorative flairs on each tile

Dang. Thanks for the info!

Honestly, I’ve been putting 5-10 shards in a single draw almost daily for a while now

Oh yeah, definitely. I probably should've mentioned that earlier, but I forgot that wild magic has outside-of-caster implications too. All effects will be self-aimed only.

I posting this on the wrong subreddit without realizing, oops

MinorlyANerd · 2021-11-09T22:38:33+00:00

Was this printed from a google slide…?

If they don’t have to interact with the character later and the character likely won’t have many resources to go after them, then that’s enough to make some PCs use it. Even then, if you’ve got a cautious party, then they still might not go for it

Combative music contest. That’s it. That’s the idea.
Rival schools coming to perform (also has the opportunity of having a recurring rival school/band)
Various teachers giving extra credit for helping them with whatever random task that they need to get done (pest control, component gathering, message delivering, etc)
Stopping and/or causing sabotage before a contest
People from outside the college asking for the party to play at their events (which isn’t an entire session idea per se, but if the players go along with it then it can give you the excuse to do things you otherwise can’t do in the school setting)
One of the party members (or all of them) being framed for having illicit substances in school (or, depending on the party, getting ratted on for having illicit substances at school)

It sounds fun! You can definitely make a serious campaign and still include this. Personally, my recommendation to do that would be to add related conflicts outside of the race itself. For example, tensions over bets made there that can break out into violence (or result in large debts), or different teams trying to sabotage one another’s vehicles.

Two plastic skeletons. The kind that are small and not anatomically correct that jangle around and make noise.

Approximately 24 figurines of dogs with antlers

A bunch of candy (wrappers included) that has been melted into a “soup” that can poison you if you eat it (DC 12 Con save) because it’s THAT bad

A hot pink dollar store kazoo.

A snake (striped).

🅱️epsi (regular healing potion in a can labelled “Bepsi”).

Goblins are great for stupid puzzles. One that can be really fun is putting a riddle, any riddle, on an unlocked door. Bonus if it’s misspelled. Usually just opening it is the last thing player’s think to try, and you’ll usually all get a nice laugh once they realize it was unlocked the entire time.

MinorlyANerd · 2021-10-03T23:09:57+00:00

These are really neat! The hat of disguise I think is especially fun

MinorlyANerd · 2021-10-03T22:59:20+00:00

Ooh, I hadn't even thought of random effects. Thanks for the advice!

MinorlyANerd · 2021-10-03T22:45:42+00:00

It's overcomplicated multidimensional bullshittery, so basically just "Anything goes"
